"This lux, unique, exotic treehouse was amazing, uplifting and soul stirring to see and stay in for our too brief two night stay. The house is gorgeous and the decorative flair throughout was uplifting and inspiring to behold. Though we did not cook on the stellar top of of the line stovetop, the gorgeous kitchen with its cool concrete countertops and dark, gleaming cabinetry, made the little food prep we did, all the more pleasurable. The treehouse though a sight to behold in and of itself,...

"My husband and I along with 5 friends came to stay at Riverwalk Ranch to enjoy warm weather, go birding and visit Mayan ruins. Elias and Betty made our stay memorable, enjoyable and relaxing. Elias's meals were works of art, the house beautiful, and the pool refreshing. The tours that we booked picked us up at the house which made the day trips very easy. Sitting on the veranda in the late afternoon watching the parrots arrive was a favorite pastime. A wonderful vacation and a home that I would...

The bed was super comfortable and everything was extremely clean. The hosts even provided a "loaner" towel to bring on day trips around San Ignacio!

"Property was ideally located to our planned activities of Xunantunich and Mountain Pine Ridge. Central to town and within walking distance of restaurants. The house was clean, cool, and appealing - very comfortable for 2 couples and 2 singles. The porch was lovely for afternoon and end of day visits - with hammocks, seating chairs, and outside dining space available. Being on a hilltop, the porch had beautiful breezes every time we sat outside. We were welcomed with drinks in the fridge, snacks...
